NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-353]
PECO Energy Company; Limerick Generating Station, Unit 2; Notice
of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 99 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-85, issued to
PECO Energy Company (the licensee), which approves installation of
replacement suction strainers for operation of the Limerick Generating
Station (LGS), Unit 2, located in Montgomery and Chester Counties,
Pennsylvania. The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance and
shall be implemented prior to restart following completion of the LGS,
Unit 2, refueling outage which commenced April 1999.
The amendment documents the NRC staff's approval of the
implementation of a plant modification to support the installation of
replacement suction strainers for the emergency core cooling systems at
the LGS, Unit 2.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this
action was published in the Federal Register on January 29, 1998 (63 FR
4496). The August 28, 1998, letter provided clarifying information and
did not change the original proposed no significant hazards
consideration. No request for a hearing or petition for leave to
intervene was filed following this notice.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (64 FR
27014).
For further details with respect to the action, see (1) the
application for amendment dated October 6, 1997, as supplemented by
letter dated August 28, 1998, (2) Amendment No. 99 to License No. NPF-
85, (3) the Commission's related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the
Commission's Environmental Assessment. All of these items are available
for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, and at the local
public document room located at the Pottstown Public Library, 500 High
Street, Pottstown, PA.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th of May 1999.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
